We herein disclose the first Ni-catalyzed Hiyama coupling of aryl halides with vinylsilanes.
This protocol uses cheap, nontoxic, and stable vinyltrimethoxysilane as the vinyl
donor, proceeds under mild and ligand-free conditions, furnishing a diverse variety
of styrene derivatives in high yields with excellent functional group compatibility.
